| Preguntas requeridas | ||
| ¿Por qué se está postulando para un puesto en la Junta Directiva de la Fundación Wikimedia? ¿Qué es lo que podría contribuir a la misma? ¿Sobre qué le gustaría saber más? | Creo que servir en la Junta es la mejor forma que tengo para asegurar que las Recomendaciones e Iniciativas de la Estrategia de Movimiento 2030 reciban un compromiso estratégico (p.ej., Proceso de Plan Anual). Seguiré siendo una Wikimedista altamente comprometida, escuchando y participando en conversaciones, campañas, y conferencias para asegurarme que los puntos de vista de la comunidad serán atendidos en las conversaciones estratégicas con la Dirección General, personal pagado, y la Junta directiva, defendiendo los cambios en direción o prioridades cuando esto beneficie o afecte al Movimiento. | |
| Por favor, describa su experiencia con Wikimedia (tal como sus contribuciones a los proyectos Wikimedia, membresía en organizaciones o afiliados de Wikimedia, actividades como organizador del movimiento Wikimedia, o participación en una organización aliada con el movimiento Wikimedia). | - Editora
Wikipedistas: por número de «Did You know?», #5; por número de artículos, Top 100; por número de ediciones, Top 150. patrulladores de Páginas Nuevas: #7. Co-Wikipedista del año, 2016; armada caballero, 2018, en parte por mi trabajo en Wikipedia.
- Organizadora: lista de eventos, comités, etc. | |
| Desde su perspectiva, ¿cuál o cuáles deberían ser las prioridades de la Fundación Wikimedia en los próximos 5-10 años, y por qué considera que éstas son las prioridades más importantes? | Llevo un brazalete de silicona con una inscripción: las letras WWHSD? (What Would Hari Seldon Do?, o bien ¿Qué Haría Hari Seldon?). En la misma forma que este personaje ficticio pensaba en y planeaba para el futuro lejano, yo pienso acerca del futuro lejano de nuestro movimiento Wikimedia... de 10-100 años en el futuro. Por lo tanto, yo veo a éstas como las mayores cuatro áreas que deberíamos priorizar:
¿Por qué?: Creo que esto es lo que el mundo necesita de nosotros, así como los consumidores (lectores, asistentes virtuales, chatbots, etc.), editores, contribuidores, organizadores, socios, y donantes quieren de nosotros. | |
| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | 1. Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees (2021-present). Elected in 2021 for a 3 year term. I serve as Chair, Talent & Culture Committee. Member: Executive Committee and Community Affairs Committee; also, Sibling Projects Task Force. Previously: Governance and Audit Committees.
2. Board of Directors, Wikimedia District of Columbia (WMDC) (multi-state programmatic operations of a 501(c)(3) public charity) (2016-2021). Appointed, 2016. Vice-President, 2017-2021. Among my responsibilities: Human Resources and Friendly Space. 3. Co-founder, Women in Red (established July 2015).

| Please describe your professional career experience. | Professional career: healthcare industry. Since 1990, I worked for a large corporation (national; later international) that provides healthcare services: administrator, contract management, talent acquisition. Memberships: PMI SHRM, and ERE. Retired in 2016.
In 2017, I became a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar at Northeastern University's Digital Scholarship Group. My work focuses on pre-20th-century, trans-Atlantic, English-language women writers and their works (on Wikipedia and also a Wikidata project). Unpaid position. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | 1. I helped bring together leaders from WM-CA, WM-DC, WM-MX, and WM-NYC during Wikimania Esino Lario (June 2016) to coordinate WCNA 2016 as a regional conference (previously, it was US-based). Together, we developed plans for it to occur in October and I agreed to be a co-grantee. It was a success (4 days; 7 tracks; >300 attendees).
2. In November 2020, the WCNA Core Team was still unable to decide whether to facilitate an online-only conference before the end of the year (e.g., COVID pandemic) because we were inexperienced with such a model. I suggested that the learnings from facilitating an online-only conference could be incorporated in future WCNAs so we don't have to be perfect this time; it's okay to take the risk and make mistakes. A successful virtual WCNA 2020 occurred in December (3 days; 4 tracks; >150 attendees) with several learnings. | |
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | BA in Business Management, and later, an MBA degree. Also, post-graduate certificate in "Healthcare Executive Leadership". More recently: Board Leadership Development Program (2022), Team Dynamics/Board Practice Series (2023), and Essential Facilitation (2024).
Relevance: MBA degree is quite relevant as the Board's mission is to focus on organizational strategy, a central component of this degree. | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosiestephenson/ | |
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | 1. Wikimania 2023: co-founded WikiWomenSummit x Wikimania (WWS). "Building bridges" day for strategy, skill-building, leadership development, celebrations. Goal: repeat WWS at future Wikimanias, shifting format to support each year's unique ideas/requirements/Core Team/attendees.
2. Helped develop ideas on the Community Health Working Group (2018-20). 3. Elected to the Affiliations Committee (2016-2021). Served on its Conflicts Committee all years. Officer (Secretary, 2017; Chair, 2020-21). 4. In 2016, I ideated that WCNA become an Affiliate to retain/incorporate learnings into future convenings. To date, WCNA is the only conference-based Affiliate. | |
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | ||
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | Create safe spaces; provide opportunities for dialogue; inspire and encourage to build on it. Example: at
WikiWomenSummit x Wikimania 2024, we will soft-launch a new concept: WikiWomenSummit X Lunch, which empowers women at regional wikiconferences to convene lunchtime meetups (program, scope, time, format varying with each iteration). | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | Listen and learn before reacting; remain polite and civil; focus on issues. Understand that perceptions vary; we don't all see things the same way. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | Current Trustees incorporate gender and age diversity (for transparency, I'm 70 years old); represent four continents. An "Advisory Board" would bring additional perspectives. Historically, an "Advisory Board" existed. Currently, "Volunteer Advisory Members" serve on the Board's Governance and Audit Committees, plus the Community Affairs Committee's Sister Projects Task Force -- but this is different than an "Advisory Board". This would be a possible approach to provide opportunities for Wikimedians in underrepresented parts of the world, e.g., with representation from each region (per "Regional Grants Committees" alignment). | |
